I was just cruising around Cindy Morgan’s website looking for the best place to purchase her album and saw this contest their having. If you register as a user of the site and reference me (Jason Bean) as the one who referred you we can win handwritten lyrics by Cindy Morgan. I thought that was a pretty cool contest and can already see the lyrics nicely framed with a picture of a hummingbird and my daughter super-imposed together accenting the lyrics. Let’s try and win together, just visit the Cindy Morgan website by clicking here and sign-up for their site. Be sure and put myRead More →

While listening to Yahoo Music LAUNCHcast Radio I decided to start my day with some Dave Matthews. His song “The Maker” just played and I caught a portion of the lyrics and restarted it from the beginning. I’m a fan of Dave Matthews but I’ve never heard this song before so it was a good find. I wanted to share the lyrics of the song with you and see what you though about them? I was also caused to think of Dave’s name as well, pretty Biblical sounding as well. Oh, Oh Deep waterBlack, and cold like the nightI stand with arms wide openI’ve runRead More →

I received Todd Agnew’s “Better Questions” in the mail a few days ago to listen to and review on the site. As per my normal operating procedure, I’ve been listening to it in my car and on the computer over the past few days and just letting the lyrics marinate into my soul.

For example, read these lyrics from the song “Least of These”, which is probably the hardest rocking song on the album as well.Read More →

I first wrote about hearing Rand Winburn’s “Soul Seeker” album early last month. I ended up connecting with him via his MySpace page and he offered to send me a copy of Soul Seeker to review and share with everyone here. I’ve been listening to it for a few weeks now and just letting the music and lyrics soak into my consciousness and emotions. I absolutely stand by my initial impressions and review of the songs on the album I was able to hear from his website and MySpace page. If you reminisce about the electro-pop-synth sounds of the 80’s then the musical aspect ofRead More →

I’ve got to say that one of my surprise finds since I’ve been blogging here at Christian Music Fan is Derek Webb. I had heard his music before via Caedmon’s Call, but hadn’t experienced any of his solo work. His lyrics are piercing and full of Truth. What I didn’t realize when I wrote about Derek Webb’s musical premiere on Grey’s Anatomy was that the songwriter, Sandra McCracken is Derek’s wife. Durh! Now the two have collaborated on more together than just a family, they’ve releasing their own album titled “Ampersand EP”. Here’s a bit about their story: Eight years ago, singer/songwriter Derek Webb wasRead More →
